Palestino and Audax Italiano meet at Municipal de La Cisterna in Copa Chile 2026 Group G, with Palestino already holding 3 points after a commanding 4-1 win over Magallanes, while Audax arrive with zero points following a 0-1 defeat to CD Santa Cruz. The two sides drew 0-0 in their most recent Primera Division encounter, so goals are not guaranteed despite the standings gap. Striker Nelson Da Silva carries real threat for Palestino with 2 goals and 16 shots across his last 6 matches, and Franco Troyansky leads Audax’s attacking intent with 12 shots and 1 goal in his last 6 appearances, racking up 2 yellow cards along the way.
Hot stat: Palestino scored 4 goals in a single Copa Chile group match against Magallanes, their highest-scoring game across their last 6 fixtures, yet managed just 1 goal across their two league outings either side of it.

Palestino vs Audax Italiano Prediction
Palestino enter this fixture as clear favorites, backed by better recent form (50% winrate in last 30 days versus 17% for Audax), home advantage, and a superior group stage position. Audax have won just 1 of their last 6 matches, drawing 3 and losing 2, which makes backing a Palestino win the most logical route. Their 4-2-3-1 setup gives them a structured base to absorb pressure and break quickly, which suits a home game against a side that has struggled for consistency.
Audax commit slightly more fouls on average (56 vs 54 over 5 matches) and accumulate more yellow cards (11 vs 8), suggesting a physical, disrupted style that could hand Palestino set-piece opportunities. Palestino’s pass accuracy is slightly lower in raw numbers but their 4-2-3-1 shape tends to prioritize vertical progression over possession cycling. Audax’s 4-3-3 creates width but their attacking output (72 total shots in 5 games) trails Palestino’s 83, and their 14 offsides point to a high defensive line that Palestino’s forwards can exploit with well-timed runs. We predict Palestino to win, and the total goals market leaning under 2.5 reflects the pattern of tight recent H2H meetings.

Team Analysis
Palestino’s last 6 matches show a team capable of sharp performances but not entirely consistent. Their Copa Chile opener against Magallanes (4-1) was dominant, and they followed that with a 2-1 league win over Everton. Their defeats came against O’Higgins (1-2) and earlier in the run, with two draws including a goalless stalemate with Audax. Gonzalo Tapia’s 2 goals and Nelson Da Silva’s 2 goals lead the scoring, and César Munder’s 3 assists from midfield make him a key creative outlet. Coach Guillermo Farré has 3 red cards across the squad in 5 matches, pointing to some disciplinary fragility at the back.
Audax Italiano’s recent run is underwhelming. Their last 5 matches produced 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, with a 0-1 home defeat to CD Santa Cruz the most damaging result in their Copa Chile campaign. Their 2-2 draw with Universidad de Chile showed attacking potential, and the 1-1 with La Serena was respectable, but the 1-3 loss to Olimpia Asuncion earlier in the sequence exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Giovani Chiaverano leads with 3 assists across 6 games, and Michael Fuentes and Franco Troyansky share the goalscoring load with 1 each. Gustavo Lema’s side generates corners actively (34 in 5 matches, compared to Palestino’s 22), which gives them a set-piece threat even on the road.
Most Recent Head-to-Head Matches

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Palestino the Favourite
- Moneyline Palestino 1.80–1.83 | Audax Italiano 3.55–3.65
- Draw 3.40–3.41
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The odds across Bovada and Rocketplay place Palestino around 1.80-1.83, which aligns well with the 50% bookmaker win probability. To be honest, this is reasonable value given their home advantage and current form lead. Audax at 3.55-3.65 reflects their poor run accurately. The draw at 3.40 looks slightly short given how often these two cancel each other out, but the Copa Chile context (Audax needing a win to stay alive) may open the game up more than their recent head-to-head suggests. Bons listing Palestino at 1.39 without a draw option is an outlier and likely a market anomaly to avoid.

Possible Starting Lineups
Palestino Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Sebastian Perez
- DF: Jason León, Jose Bizama, Enzo Roco, Vicente Espinoza
- MF: Francisco Montes, Julián Fernández, César Munder, Nicolás Meza
- FW: Gonzalo Tapia, Nelson Da Silva
Palestino’s 4-2-3-1 shape sees Sebastian Perez as the clear first-choice keeper with 21 saves across 6 matches. The back four picks itself, with Jason León and Vicente Espinoza providing width. Francisco Montes and Julián Fernández anchor the double pivot, both carrying yellow card risk with 3 and 2 bookings respectively. César Munder’s 3 assists make him the team’s most creative outlet from midfield. Up front, Gonzalo Tapia (2 goals) and Nelson Da Silva (2 goals, 16 shots) are the primary threats, with Bryan Carrasco providing energy from wide areas.
Audax Italiano Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Tomas Ahumada
- DF: Raimundo Rebolledo, Enzo Ferrario, Daniel Piña, Esteban Matus
- MF: Federico Mateos, Marco Collao Ramos, Bryan Soto, F. Loyola
- FW: Franco Troyansky, Michael Fuentes
Tomas Ahumada starts in goal with 20 saves across 5 matches. The back four features Raimundo Rebolledo, who leads the squad with 86 lost balls but also 6 interceptions, alongside the experienced Daniel Piña who has played every minute of the last 6 games. Federico Mateos anchors midfield with 11 shots and 4 interceptions, while Giovani Chiaverano’s 3 assists make him a genuine creative threat, perhaps more so than his goal return suggests. Franco Troyansky’s 2 yellow cards in 6 games are worth watching in a match where Audax may need to be aggressive. Audax’s 4-3-3 gives them natural width and their 34 corners in 5 games suggest they press high and force play wide.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Palestino hold every structural advantage here: home ground, better recent form, a point already secured, and a stronger individual goal threat. Audax need a result to avoid elimination from Group G, which may push them to commit more men forward, but their attacking output (72 shots, 4 goals in 5 games) does not inspire confidence against a Palestino side that has kept things tight in recent weeks.
The most recent meeting between these sides ended 0-0, and 4 of the last 7 H2H encounters produced two goals or fewer. We predict Palestino to win 1-0 or 2-0, with the match staying under 2.5 goals. Audax’s corner volume (34 in 5 games) is the main wildcard, perhaps generating a set-piece moment, but we do not see them finding the net. Palestino win, clean sheet, and under 2.5 goals is our recommended parlay for this fixture.
